A group of six people got stranded on an airboat at about 1 a.m. Sunday while looking for two friends who had been missing in the swamp for more than 24 hours, according to the Broward Sheriff's Office.

A Sheriff's Office helicopter found the group of six at about 5:30 a.m. and a Florida Fish & Wildlife helicopter located the other two -- a man and a woman -- at about 10 a.m. near the Broward/Miami-Dade county line.

The couple apparently had been out catching frogs when their airboat ran out of gas, said Dani Moschella, a Florida Fish & Wildlife spokeswoman.

Authorities did not release the names of the eight people.

None were taken to the hospital for treatment.

Moschella said there was a sense of urgency to find the two groups because of the approaching tropical storm.

Man, 21, critically hurt in drive-by shooting

A man was shot in the stomach Sunday morning in what police suspect was a drive-by attack in the 100 block of Southeast Eighth Street in Delray Beach.

Police encountered a hostile and uncooperative crowd when officers tried to help McKenzie Itacy, 21, who was hit while talking to friends.

Itacy was in critical condition at Delray Medical Center following emergency surgery.

One witness told police someone from a silver Chevrolet Tahoe SUV before 2 a.m. fired into the crowd and then fled north on Southeast Second Avenue.

The shooting might have been the result of a dispute at a Boca Raton wedding on Saturday night.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 800-458-8477.
